So Here are some pics of my first ever homebrew and some notes on my tasting.
It's a Brewers Best English Brown Extract with Specialty Grains Kit.
I brewed on Easter Sunday, I'm in the process of the 1-2-3 method.
SG = 1.046, FG 1.012
These are photos and taste observations of Bottle Condition week 2.
Decent little puff of co2 upon opening, wow nice head. Smells a ltlle sweet/fruity still. Not very clear but no real floaties, just a bit couldy hazy. Next time I'll use gelatin or irish moss. Tastes good, not very good or excellent, yet. Possibly a little thin. Head stayed around and laced nicely thought. Beer gets better with each sip. My therory is that at week 3 it will be very good progressing through excellent in weeks 4, 5, 6, gone.
Thanks to all you HBT guys (EAC's and non EAC's a like), I'm not saying I couldn't have done it without you, but i'm sure it wouldn't have been as good, and probably would have been thrown away in a n00b panic. Thanks guys and gals.
